    First let me preface this by saying that I am really new to coding and Unity.


    I have an object with a Movie Texture on it. I would like another object to to track across this movie so that it 2D tracks an item within the movie. To achieve this I brought the movie into After Effects did 2D tracking on the item and exported the (x,y,z) coordinates to a spreadsheet. In that spread sheet I used a formula to convert the (x,y,z) AE coordinates to (x,y,z) Unity coordinates.

    So now I have the (x,y,z) coordinates that my object needs to move and I have the time from the start of the movie at which that movement needs to occur.

    I know that this works using an animation. However, I may end up making severa dozen levels that use this and the idea of setting that many keyframes is not fun. I would rather have a script that does it.

    I wrote the following script to make my object move and nothing seems to happen. I am trying to get time in milliseconds counting up.

    Code (csharp):
    1. #pragma strict
    2. var position : Vector3;
    3. var startTime = Time.time;
    4.  
    5.  
    6. function Start () {
    7. startTime = Time.time;
    8. }
    9.  
    10. function Update (){
    11.  
    12. var moveTimeA = startTime - Time.time;
    13.  
    14. var moveTimeB = (moveTimeA * 1000) % 1000;
    15.  
    16. if (moveTimeB == 18650){transform.position = Vector3(316,37,159);}
    17. if (moveTimeB == 18783){transform.position = Vector3(309,-23,159);}
    18. if (moveTimeB == 18800){transform.position = Vector3(307.195,-28.8281,159);}
    19. if (moveTimeB == 18816){transform.position = Vector3(304.578,-37.4141,159);}
    20. if (moveTimeB == 18833){transform.position = Vector3(302.984,-42.6523,159);}

    Did you use Debug.Log to look at your moveTimeB ?
    Imho your checks dont make sense since the result of modulo 1000 will always be smaller than 1000.

    No I will try the Debug.Log. However, I also just ran across Keyframe in the scripting reference. This might be what I am trying to do but like I said I am really new to scripting so this stuff takes me a long time. I will try using Debug.Log and post and update.

    yeah my if functions with the moveTimeB are not registering using the Debug. Everything else works.
